Nelson Mandela International Day is an annual observance to mark the birthday of the late South African leader Nelson Mandela. The day aims to inspire people to take action and make a positive impact in their communities and the world around them, following the example of Mandela's lifelong commitment to social justice, human rights, and reconciliation. The initiative was launched by the United Nations General Assembly in 2009, with the aim of honoring Mandela's achievements and encouraging people to emulate his values and dedication to service. The UN declared that Mandela's birthday would be celebrated as an international day of commemoration, calling on individuals and organizations to dedicate 67 minutes of their time to public service in honor of Mandela's 67 years of service to humanity. In the UK, the day is marked by a range of events and activities, including volunteering opportunities, community projects, and educational initiatives. The Nelson Mandela Foundation also organizes various events and campaigns around the world to promote Mandela's legacy and inspire global solidarity for social justice and human rights.
